On the bubble: none

Key matchups down the stretch

Boerne at Wimberley (7 p.m., March 19): Both teams are in a three-way tie for the district championship along with Davenport. The winner between Wimberley (12-4-4, 6-1-2) and Boerne (16-1-3, 6-1-2) could avoid a tiebreaker if Davenport (14-3-2, 6-1-2) loses to fourth-place Canyon Lake. Should Wimberley win and be tied with Davenport, the Wolves would win the tiebreaker for the No. 1 seed due to a better goal differential. That scenario would make Wimberley the No. 2 seed. If Boerne  wins and ties Davenport, the Greyhounds would be the No. 1 seed. 

News & notes

District 26-4A has one more set of games on March 19 that will determine the district championship and playoff seeding. All four playoff spots have been determined; however, Canyon Lake could be the spoiler if it upsets Davenport.
